A community radio station is inviting people to a talk from a local radio
expert.

Brian Lister, who has worked for Alpha FM, Sun FM, TFM, Metro Radio and the
BBC, will give a talk to members of Radio Teesdale this month.

Mr Lister is advising a number of commercial and community radio stations
and will be talking about the future of community radio and how it will
affect everyone in the UK.

Peter Dixon, of Radio Teesdale, said: "We are delighted that Brian has found
time from his busy schedule to visit our studio and talk to us.

"If you have any sort of interest in broadcasting, whether or not you are
looking to become involved in the future activities of Radio Teesdale, I
would urge you to join us for an interesting evening with one of the top
radio professionals working in the UK today.

"Over the coming months, we are planning on organising a number of meetings
and training sessions that will be open to the community of Teesdale."

Although the station is currently not broadcasting, it is preparing for its
next broadcast, likely to be in the autumn.
It is also awaiting the outcome of an application to Ofcom for a full-time
licence.

The talk by Mr Lister is on Monday, from 6pm to 8pm, at Enterprise House,
Harmire Road, Barnard Castle.
